so your bug was effected by the sunroof recall? are they just ordering you carpet and letting you install it yourself?

i got that notice, along with the class action for the coilpacks and i dont even own the car.

I got the carpit because I am a volkswagen tech and my car was coverd under the warenty and it had the affects of bad sun roof drains. They won’t give the carpet and let people do it them selfs. Update : today I sold the 17" rims on my bug and orderd new wheels on tire rack. The new ones look so much better!

they rubbed on the inner wheel wells. If i spaced the wheels with the shape of the fenders they would rub on the fender lip. i don’t know the offset of the wheels i have had but they all seem to be the same my 18"private wheels 17" falcon wheels and 17" tt rims all fit the same.

strange. only time i had a rubbing issue was with the slicks on those +43 VR6 wheels i had. even with 20mm spacers it was still too close to the locking collar of the H&R. so simple solution was just jack the car way up.

ive seen the NB’s take a big wheel without issue. anything 7.5-8inch wide a +35 is usually good to go on the NB/mk4 chassis
